Big warning (re: your looping issue)
This exact setup (“open” + “no mention required” + privacy disabled/admin) is also the easiest way to get reply loops / noisy behavior if anything is misconfigured (webhook retries, multiple gateways using the same bot token, etc.).Before you flip it globally, can you paste:
-
openclaw --version- and whether you set
channels.telegram.webhookUrl- plus a short snippet from
openclaw channels logs --channel telegramupdate_idmessage_idIf you want a safe interim config that still lets you talk “normally” but prevents chaos while debugging, set it to only allow your messages in groups (so no one else can trigger it) by using
groupPolicy: "allowlist"groupAllowFrom: ["<your_id>"]
